Why Humor Is Important in Relationships
According to a 2015 study, laughing together is “positively associated with global evaluations of relationship quality.”
“What this means is that we can say that there is something unique about shared laughter for a relationship,” study author Laura Kurtz told The Independent. “It isn’t just enough to laugh in the presence of your partner – it’s the moments where you are both laughing together that really seem to count.”
What’s more, men from the study who laughed with their partners were found to have more amorous feelings toward their significant others than those who did not.
Remembering your humorous times together can also enhance your bond down the road, according to a separate 2007 study, which states, “[Couples] who reminiscence about humorous events reinforce the connectedness felt by partners by reminding [them] that they possess a potentially unique perspective of given circumstances. Shared jokes, nicknames, and life experiences have been incorporated into [has been] called ‘a secret language’ that serves to enhance the bonds of the relationship.”
